Dedicated to all who need a touch of pure love and healing from the only One who can truly heal. The Healer Himself. Our heavenly Father, in the beautiful name of Jesus, and by the power of the Holy Spirit …

Chorus I’m waiting by the pool of healing Waiting for someone to lift me in Watching others, they go before me They are healed and I’m waiting still; but In my greatest need as the tears fall Jesus can heal before I go in

So many years I’ve waited Blindly trying many paths Always hoping that it would be my turn But alas, others had the joys and laughs

Day after day after day Month after month after year Wallowing in much concealed self-pity Kept in bondage by hidden lies and fear

Feeling disheartened and sad Wondering how to go on Able to read of His grace and mercy But still unable to sing my heart’s song

Chorus I’m waiting by the pool of healing Waiting for someone to lift me in Watching others, they go before me They are healed and I’m waiting still; but In my greatest need as the tears fallJesus can heal before I go in

But then one day the light shone Shone though it never had dimmed The light was always upon His sweet Word And now my heart saw what my eyes had skimmed

I went to the healing pool Again nothing had it changed But there for the first time I met Jesus Who’d come searching for me where I now laid

And as He said to this child Child, do you want to be well I answered and said, I’m listening dear Lord Only You can lift from this place I fell

My heart listened My eyes glistened My Saviour lent down in love I’m here for you nowAnd I’ve always been I’ve just waited for you to look above

Rise, take up your bed and walk And in His strength I could do Something that years had prevented me from Rising up, going forth into things new

Chorus Oh! I waited by the pool of healing Waited for someone to lift me in Watched others, they went before me They were healed and I no longer wait; ’cause In my greatest need as the tears fell Jesus healed me before I went in

A little child, I am
I take my Father’s hand
He leads me where, I do not know
Nor where I understand

But I do know that I am safe
And will be comforted
For He has promised always
With His love, I’ll be led

I may be only tiny
In the world’s blinded eyes
Yet, in Him, I am mighty
I won’t listen to the lies

We stroll along the seashore
We lie down in pastures green
Beside the still, clear waters
The prettiest I’ve ever seen

He sings to me, sings over me
With a voice so beautifully pure
The words fill my very being
Of His love, I am sure

Up rugged mountains steep
And through the stormy seas
Along the valley’s deep, deep floor
You’ll often find me on my knees

Each day I am discovering
All that He’s done for me
His name is Jesus, Jesus
The One who helped me see

Let me tell you a little story
I thought I knew Him all along
Then one day, many years ahead
I broke forth in brand new song

I’ll sing it now, won’t be a moment
Just need to find my singing voice
Sit with us awhile, sit down in peace
You’ll fall in love, you’ll have no choice

And it goes like this, are you ready
A one, a two, a three
If you’d like to join in with us
We won’t worry about the key

’Cause the melody in heaven
Will flow down upon our heads
Fill our being to overflowing
And mend all of life’s loose threads

‘Jesus, You came
You came, You came for me
I may have been the only one
Still You came for me
I am so very precious
I’m the apple of Your eye
And there’s nothing I can do
No, nothing I can ever do
To make You love me more
Everything is finished
Nothing more is to be done
And that is why, You, my Lord
My whole heart, You have won
Jesus, You came
You came, You came for me’

See, how easy was that
Like a little child and father
So come walk with us to the eternal door
One day those searching steps will go no farther

Remember the distant garden
When innocence filled the air
Know that you are loved and cherished
Father wants to take you back there

Oh! Won’t you let Him take you back
Let Him take you back, don’t be afraid
Take His hand, He’ll take you back

All the years we’ve been together
I’ve been unable to love you
Love you as I truly should have
Love as only a loved heart can
Hard to do when it’s bound in time
Fighting hard against God’s best plan

Chorus
I’m so very sorry
I left my heart behind
I left it in the past
Each beat left to unwind
But this heart is thawing
Life’s sunshine spreads its rays
Each beat can now rejoice
Safe in His healed ways

Each time it hurt and joy suppressed
When those memories came to haunt
I’d hide so very deep inside
Not caring for who I now am
So when love, it came a-calling
It brought me forth as God’s own lamb

Chorus
I’m so very sorry
I left my heart behind
I left it in the past
Each beat left to unwind
But this heart is thawing
Life’s sunshine spreads its rays
Each beat can now rejoice
Safe in His healed ways

Tears, they can no longer threaten
To wash and diminish the pain
My new heart can now receive yours
Don’t emotionally pull away
Our two hearts bound eternally
’Cause this love’s heart is here to stay

Chorus
I’m so very sorry
I left my heart behind
I left it in the past
Each beat left to unwind
But this heart is thawing
Life’s sunshine spreads its rays
Each beat can now rejoice
Safe in His healed ways
